Chapter 315: The answer is not in the heart, but in the ass
"For the eighth child, completely clearing his involvement with Li Shi is a matter of life and death, of course he wants to let Huang Ama take Li Shi as the first enemy."
Yongwang Mansion, Yin Zhen said disdainfully.
Yin Xiang shook his head with a sigh: "Starling...... It's just that Huang Ama deliberately forgave him in order to reassure people's hearts, and he really thought that he had a chance, and he was in a hurry to rub the pole and climb up. β
Yin Zhen smiled: "I really didn't expect that now I have the same hatred with Lao Ba." β
Yin Xiang was faintly worried: "Yesterday, I met with Starling in the firearms camp, but we had our own thoughts. I want to get a feel for the bottom of the shotgun tactics, but the starling is picking on the gunners. He had presented a cannon sample to Huang Ama before, and I heard that it was a design of the Macanese, which was in the same vein as the cannon used by Li Shi. Huang Ama allowed him to try to build two 3,000-pound cannons, and it was estimated that they were almost ready, and he would go to the Lugou Bridge Artillery Field to test the guns in the next few days. If he really succeeds, Huang Ama may not use him. β
Yin Zhen sighed: "That Li Xianzhi relied on, but it was a quick gun." Fast guns, what is forbidden is that you don't need it, Huang Ama said a word. The cannon is really a trouble, if the old eight drum it out......"
The two looked at each other, and there was an indescribable haze in their eyes.
In the back lake of Changchun Garden, Kangxi was fishing leisurely, two people stood on his side, and one of them was dancing with his eyebrows.
"The sound of the cannon is like thunder, it can be heard for ten miles, the cannon is far away for four miles, the stone wall is cracked, and the brick wall is turned into powder......"
"You've worked hard too, let's go down first."
Kangxi interrupted Yinzhen, waved his hand lightly, Yinzhen froze, and then looked at the fourteenth prince Yinzhen beside him, glanced at him, bowed and retreated.
"Fourteen, tell me, what's going on with the eighth cannon?"
Then Kangxi opened his mouth again, although the tone of this question was light, Yinzhen secretly gasped.
Yinzhen should be twenty-eight years old this year, and he is no longer a hairy boy. As soon as the prince was abolished, the eighth elder brother Yinxu rose and fell back and forth, and he saw it in his eyes. After the rebellion of Li Shi in Guangdong, his half-brother Yinzhen also swung in a circle. Just stirred up like this, although Yinzhen's heart was not cold, Yinzhen seemed to be also warm-hearted, no longer eating fasting and chanting Buddha, and jumped up and down with Li Xi's matter.
Yinzhen has always been very close to Yinzhen, that is the capital that he thinks he has never mixed with this big drama, but now the situation is so chaotic, but he has stayed away from this whirlpool with the sincerity of Yinzhen in forty-seven years. Now that Yinxi pulled him into the water again, he began to wonder how he should deal with himself?
Yinzhen has always been Yinzhen's mind has not changed, and the look in his eyes is to remind him to help paste the wall, and he didn't mention it much beforehand, which made Yinzhen very unwilling, and I should be your slave together? Nine years ago, in order to protect you, I almost didn't live out, and I didn't seriously think about the sin you suffered before, and I had no hope anymore? And now you're still pulling me on my back?
Yinzhen has had some ups and downs, sober people have already seen that he has no hope, and the prince has also been completely imprisoned because of the alum book case, Yinzhen, in recent years, Yinzhen has often been ordered by the emperor Ammar, and occasionally inadvertently mentioned in the words, the fourth brother is not in the heart of the emperor Ama at all, so who is next?
Yinzhen didn't think much about it before, at this moment the spring is bright, the lake is sparkling, it seems to be leisurely, Yinzhen has a look, Kangxi asked, but Yinzhen only felt that his chest was facing the scorching heat, his back was standing in the cold winter, and a frenzied restlessness almost broke his heart, did he really have no hope at all?
"Erchen is indeed seeing it himself, the two generals supervised by the starling brother, the cannon is four miles, the stone is broken and the wall is destroyed, and the momentum is very amazing."
Yinzhen sweated on his forehead, and said in a dumb voice, the old thought of being one with Yinzhen was too heavy, and he still didn't dare to say it rashly, but he also had to leave a way back for himself.
"General!?"
Kangxi glanced at him, and he heard the meaning of his words at that time.
"Fourteen! I know that you have a deep relationship with Lao Ba, and you blocked the knife for him nine years ago, but he is not even Adou, and now you still want to support him? β
Kangxi's tone was not heavy, but he smashed it on Yinzhen's heart like a heavy hammer, playing a game of tongue in front of himself, Lao Tzu, it was really an axe.
But it was also these words that suddenly smashed the mud wall that sealed Yinzhen's heart, and the restlessness gushed out, so he couldn't help himself?
Yinzhen knelt down and kowtowed: "Erchen doesn't dare to deceive the emperor Ama, the cannon made by the starling brother is claimed to be 3,000 catties, but in fact it is 5,000 catties, and the cannon is only 12 catties......"
After a pause, he still had to say something good for Yinxi: "Although it is not as called by the starling, compared with the old cannon, it has been refined, and it is made of pig iron, and the cannon is quite economical." β
Yinxi had been on the cannon before, and he was also imprisoned for that matter, and later found out that Li Xi had no deeper contact with Yinxi, but was implicated with foreigners, Kangxi woke up to himself suspicious on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also released Yinxi and restored his Baylor in order to stabilize the hearts of the people in the court.
After Yinxi recovered, he was bent on getting back the money on Li Xi and continued to work the cannon. boasted to Kangxi that the cannon was real, and he could make it, and a 3,000-pound cannon could hit a 20-pound cannon, just like the cannon Li Shi is using now.
Kangxi agreed to Yinxi with the mentality of giving it a try, and now Yinxi has finally come to fruition. It's just a big gap from his claims. There is no need for Yinzhen to tell the truth, Kangxi has already made it clear. The two newly built cannons each weigh 5,000 catties, which is already the level of a general, and the cannons can only fight 12 catties. As far as these indicators are concerned, there is not much difference from the old general's cannon, the difference is in what Yinzhen said, this is an iron cannon, and the cost is very low.
With this achievement, Kangxi is already satisfied, which proves that Yinxi has really put a lot of effort into it, at least to find a skilled cannon casting master. But Yinxi lied about his exploits, which made Kangxi very annoyed, and he could even guess that Yinxi's mansion was already full of guests, and they all toasted to each other, thinking that Yinxi could get some role in the two military battles in the west and south.
Yinzhen is jumping in the open, and Yinzhen is cheering in the dark. For that Yinzhen, Kangxi also put a lot of thought into it. Transfer Nian Qianyao away first, lest he do anything through Nian Qianyao's rebellion and lead the situation into a direction that is difficult for him to control, and at the same time, he also poured cold water on Yinzhen, lest that ruthless guy lead Nian Qianyao into the game. Then he released Yinxiang and let him mix with Yinzhen. Yinxiang knows very well, although he has a deep relationship with Yinzhen, he is not a messy person, even if he wants to help Yinzhen, after all, he is still doing it in the right place, so as not to let Yinzhen go to a dead end alone.
In short, these two sons are unwilling to be lonely, and they must be adjusted so that they will not be messy, so as not to ruin the relationship between father and son, Kangxi is quite troubled.
Looking at Yinzhen who was kneeling on the ground, Kangxi said in his heart, let's see if this kid can bring him any surprises.
"Get up, it's just a small thing, don't take it personally. Let's talk about it, what are the problems with the imperial court's strategy between these two enemies? β
The so-called "imperial court strategy", of course, Kangxi set the direction, and the scholars and the military department drew up specific regulations.
On the Qinghai side, the threat of Tseling Dundob was very serious, and the two men and horses of the Xi'an general Erlunt and the guard Seleng, together with Luobzang Danjibu, might not be able to defeat Tseling Dundob. As for Tibetan Province, Razang Khan's position seems to be a little wavering, and there are rumors of a marriage with Arabutan. Therefore, it is necessary to use a second hand as soon as possible, select a general to unify the Beijing camp and the northwest armies, and completely solve the decision.
Relying on the brave orders of the people of the prefectures and counties, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Yang Lin, the governor of Liangguang, and the governor of Huguang, Manpi, all reported that they were indeed confident that they would be blocked in the land of Liangguang. Now Yin Tebu is gathering tens of thousands of green camps in Zhejiang, even if he can't beat Li Shi back in person, he can steadily block his way into Jiangnan.
Therefore, in the direction of Guangdong, the general was uncertain for the time being, and the main thing was to stabilize the existing front, and after the threat of Tseling Dundob was eliminated, he would transfer his troops to the south. As for the faint moves proposed by many Hanchens to move the border, make it easy and even lure foreigners to join forces from the sea, Kangxi naturally scoffed at it.
West and south, who should be chosen as the first mortal enemy, Yinzhen naturally thought about this question early. But the answer to the question is not what he thinks, but what he wants.
"Guangdong Li Shi, his ambition is vicious, not only to kill my Qing Dynasty, but also to destroy the world!"
Chen Wance's words echoed in Yinzhen's ears, this Chen Wance is Li Guangdi's proud protΓ©gΓ©, and before he was admitted to the Jinshi, he participated in many cultural affairs with Li Guangdi, and he was quite profound. Yinzhen also put on a posture of respect, deliberately made friends, and won Chen Wance's trust, talking about Li Shi, then Chen Wance is a hatred that can't eat meat and drink blood.
"It's a pity that the emperor is benevolent, he can't bear the misery of life in the two vast places, and he doesn't want to break his wrist to pounce! Who can say that the emperor has made up his mind to destroy this dynasty food, and the Han ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the corporal of the Manchu Dynasty, will be grateful to Dade! β
Chen Wance's words are naturally exaggerated, but what makes Yinzhen excited is that behind Chen Wance is Li Guangdi, Li Guangdi has been persuading Kangxi to take Li Shi as the first enemy, but he can't, if he has Li Guangdi's support...... In an instant, Yinzhen's mind turned and he had a plan.
"Erchen thinks that the Han people are not credible! In front of Guangdong, what is the situation, the governor may not report the truth. β
Kangxi nodded, when he said this, seeing that the fish drift was floating, he let go of half of his mind, only raised his chin and motioned for Yinzhen to continue.
"I heard that Shi Shibiu, the admiral of the Fujian Navy Division, retreated to Penghu and reported that it was important to protect Taiwan, and the ministers were worried that if the time dragged on for a long time, they would be isolated from the imperial court, and it would be difficult to guarantee that there would be changes."
Hearing Yinzhen talk about Shi Shibi, Kangxi laughed, this kid is still inexperienced after all, and he imagines it out of thin air. The Shi family does have the intention of taking Taiwan as a business, but after all, they are not rebellious. The Shi family not only has Shi Shibiu, but also Shi Shilun, who is serving as the right attendant of the military department, how could he give up such a family business?
"But Li Thief is rampant, and the imperial court has poor contact with Taiwan, and after a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no such theory. In addition, Li Thief has entered Guangxi, and he is going to enter Yungui again, stirring up the rest of the former Ming Dynasty, I am afraid it is unimaginable. β
Yinzhen still looked at the situation of the Han people, and the fish drift was shaking at this moment, Kangxi didn't care much, so he snorted.
"To the east is Taiwan and Jiangnan, then Li Xian can borrow the heart of the Han people, and in the west is Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan-Tibet, and he has to touch the trend of Mongolia and Tibet, he has too many chess to play. Erchen is worried that it will be difficult to resolve these chess games one by one by relying on those Hanchens alone. β
Yinzhen didn't say this thoroughly, because he didn't think it through himself, and there was even an exaggeration, but Kangxi was shocked and stunned. The fish floated and sank, and he didn't even pay attention to it.
"Huh...... I was so confused that I forgot, Daqing...... It was the Han people who controlled it to become the Qing Dynasty. β
Kangxi's pupils flickered, and he muttered to himself in a low voice, but Yinzhen didn't quite understand.
"Fourteen, let your starling brother continue to help you make cannons."
Then Kangxi spit out a sentence that made Yinzhen thunder and stay on the spot.
